Advantages: Price, Performance
Disadvantages: Single Core

This chip is from AMD's last generation architecture using the 939 socket. Due to the new AM2 architecture being released, socket 939 chips have plummeted in price as they are no longer cutting edge. This means there are bargains to be had and this opteron is one of those chips. Around 60 pounds buys you a single core 2Ghz processor which is nothing special. What you are not told is these chips actually use server grade silicon and have 1Mb level ...
...level 2 cache found in the desktop equivalent. This, in theory, should allow the chip to be overclocked more heavily and therefore perform much better. At stock the chip is quick and performs well in games. However, this chip is not bought to run at stock its bought to be heavily overclocked. Loading up the chip into my pc, which uses swiftech watercooling, I proceded to overclock the chip as much as possible on stock volts. This yielded a clock ... Read review

Advantages: Ultimate speed for great performance in the very latest generation of games
Disadvantages: Average operating temperature.

...of this processor as always AMD processors yield great results in the overclocking department this is a must if you are the professional gamer. Supporting 64bit operating systems and software, with a great nifty clock speed and ample amounts of cache memory this processor is only let down by its price tag.

...XP SP2. I like this AMD processor because have dual core system and more faster than Intel Pentium Core Duo 2.2Ghz.

I can play NBA Live 2007 game too without using PCI-E VGA card. This AMD processor very quiet and the temperature is always stable. I try it all using original ... Read review

Advantages: fairly good price, dual core, 2.66 ghz, 4m L2 cache
Disadvantages: fan is somewhat hard to install

This E6750 is the processor running in my computer as I write this review. In my opinion I couldn't have chosen a better CPU for what I was looking for. I was looking to spend around 200 USD for a processor and I wanted it to be very powerful so that I could run demanding programs and all of the most recent games. This processor combined with my 8800 gts 320md graphics card put on a show when it comes to graphics displays. I have yet to be disappointed ... Read review

Advantages: Quite Fast, Overclockable, Cheap
Disadvantages: 1mb cache

I have had this processor in my PC for around 7 months and it is probably the best value processor around. I put it i my first ever build and it was very easy to install and very fast,probably the fastest PC I had ever used! After a few days I messed aroung with overclocking and this is when I really unlocked its potential. I don't really have a clue about memory timings etc. so anything extra I could get out of it the better. I could get it up ...
...but its now sitting at 3Ghz as it has been for 7 months and it flies! I have played quite a few games with it including COD4, PES 2008, FIFA 08, GTA SA, Half Life 2 and more, very smoothly. I can also convert a 2hr film to DVD in around 50 mins, on my old computer it would take 4hrs. Overall a cheap and Cheerful processor ... Read review
